“I hope there is no Ijab and Qabool! That would seal the relationship as actually married per Islamic law. Sui juris individuals plus witnesses plus offer and acceptance equates to an actual marriage regardless of whether it was intended as a JOKE!” commented a user.

I am happy that they are happy but can’t help to think that LUMS is supposedly the premier institution in Pak with students coming from families who have money and exposure and somehow they are stuck at bollywood/weddings?
